The fact that the film ran through 3 directors is a big red flag that something went wrong. I can't stand Bette Davis but one thing she is good at playing is a real nasty b%%ch. Kim Novak is much much much more attractive but other than Vertigo she's a lousy actress. Always whispering. What's up with that? She never seems to raise her voice above a dimmer. It's often hard to hear her lines. Harvey seems to have caught the disease as well and never talks in a normal audible tone. The movie is very set/stage bound as well and never opens up to give a clear idea of setting. Morely is good as usual. But that's about the only positive.
